Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, March 19th, commencing at 7.30pm in the Society’s rooms at 114 Faulkner Street. Louise Brennan will be the speaker.

Louise will present her fascinating research associated with Sion House, originally an Armidale hotel ‘on the wrong side of the creek’ and which later served the community in numerous ways. North Hill was known as Sion or Zion Hill for some time and Sion House and the Reverend Johnstone’s Presbyterian Church and Manse were the two early structures on the north side of Dumaresq Creek.
